The Cat Island of CatIsland is a massive, genial nation, notable for its frequent executions, pith helmet sales, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.039 billion CatIslanders love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pretty Kitty City. The average income tax rate is 94.8%.

The large but inefficient CatIslandian economy, worth 107 trillion catdollars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Tourism industry. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 52,667 catdollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Families make most of their annual income from government benefits, weather forecasts regularly cover meteor showers, no one questions why the chicken crossed the road anymore, and video clips of women firing guns are increasingly popular. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. CatIsland's national animal is the Pretty Kitty, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

CatIsland is ranked 12,015^th in the world and 81^st in Refugia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,815.3 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
